RF matrix switch

ASD Technology has released the third-generation RF matrix switch, the QE3, from Quintech Electronics. It features a compact 64 x 64 RF matrix in 6 RU. Its operating frequency range covers both IF 50-200 MHz and extended L band 950-2150 MHz.

The QE3 is highly scalable and can be expanded. Hot-swappable component cards enable fast replacement without any special tools or disconnecting any cables.

The hot-swappable control cards, which operate independently and simultaneously, offer the highest level of redundancy in control. The dual hot-swappable power supply provides redundancy in powering.

The RF level at the inputs and outputs is monitored to facilitate troubleshooting network interfaces. The programmable automatic gain control and attenuation on all inputs allow the user to adjust input signal level for optimum performance.
